How Far Along: 38 weeks 2 days Size:  App says she's the size of a spaghetti squash -- "almost 7 pounds" and "more than 19.5 inches," but my guess is that she's in the 10-pound range and at least 20 inches. Guess we'll see! Gender:  Girl Name:  Holly B 💗 Movement:  Still moving all over. It's just so crazy how there's an entire human in my tummy, and how she can totally change the shape of my belly based on how she's moving. Sometimes when I wake in the night, she's moving around, and that's one of my favorite times to feel her because I'm not distracted by anything else and it feels like it's just the two of us :) (usually it doesn't keep me awake for long, which is why I like it.

I do NOT recommend a tummy bug while your stomach is already full of baby. All of her movements made me want to fall over and die. Also, hiccups 1-2x/day. I've decided they're my least favorite movement ha. But don't get me wrong, I love to feel her moving inside me most of the time :) Sleep:  Same issues as last month -- mostly waking up to roll over or because my hips hurt. I typically only wake to pee once/night around 3am. Weight Gain:  Thanksgiving and family in town and frequent eating have not been good to me. I gained 9 pounds in the last month 😬 brin
